Although she was unconvinced, she still listened to Shen Yijia. She ran back to Fan Mingyuan’s side in embarrassment and glared at Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia rubbed her nose innocently. Her husband was too good-looking, which was also a troublesome thing.

Actually, Xiao Ruoshui did not really like him. It was just that she had read too many novels and liked to play with knives and spears since she was young.

She kept thinking that one day, a peerless hero would fall from the sky and save the damsel in distress. Then, she would give herself to him.

Such a fantasy had been mercilessly exposed by Shen Yijia.

After the bailiffs finished dealing with the corpses, the group returned to the city.

Madam Li and the others had long woken up. They wanted to discuss returning to the village with Song Jingchen, but they were told that the couple had gone out early in the morning.

Madam Li could only wait patiently. After breakfast, she realized that something was wrong and suggested going out to look for him.

However, those servants had been instructed to keep them here. How could they dare to let them out?

Hence, when Shen Yijia arrived, Bruiser and the other children almost tore down the backyard of the county office. They were all holding brooms and wooden sticks. They even used feather dusters.

They were fighting with the guards.

“Stop!” Fan Mingyuan shouted.

The guards stopped obediently, but Bruiser and the others, who thought that Fan Mingyuan had imprisoned them, naturally wouldn’t listen. They didn’t hold back at all.

Shen Yijia’s jaw ached when she saw this. She felt that the guards were pitiful and shouted, “Stop!”

Bruiser and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Shen Yijia.

They threw away their “weapons” and ran towards Shen Yijia, except for Bruiser and Lin Shao, who were older than the rest.

The kids grabbed her hands and hugged her waist. All of them wanted to hang onto Shen Yijia.

They said in unison, “Sister-in-law, where have you been? We were so worried.”

Shen Yijia was a little touched. She was about to say that she had just gone out for a walk.

A deep voice behind her said, “Stand still.”

The few of them instinctively took a few steps back from Shen Yijia and stood upright obediently.

Although there was joy in their eyes, they did not dare to approach Shen Yijia like they did earlier.

Shen Yijia turned around and saw Song Jingchen sitting in a wheelchair with a dark expression.

She glanced at Fan Mingyuan and Xiao Ruoshui.

She immediately put on a shocked expression and ran to Song Jingchen’s side like how Sister Huan and the others had run to her just now. “Hubby, where did you go? I was so worried.”

She used the tactics she had just learned from the children.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

“Aren’t you being too obvious?”?he thought.

However, seeing Shen Yijia blink at him non-stop, Song Jingchen played along and said, “I accidentally got lost.”

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest in fear. “It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re back.”

Sister Huan and the others were confused.

Fan Mingyuan thought to himself,?“Can you two put in more effort when you lie? One of you searched for the other outside the city, and the other got lost the entire night. Absolutely ridiculous.”

He felt like a fool for choosing to believe their lies.

When Madam Li saw that they had returned, she did not ask further. However, she refused to stay at the county office any longer. She refused to eat lunch there either and insisted on returning to the village.

Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen naturally had no objections. Apart from the souvenirs the children had bought last night, there was nothing else to pack.

After saying that, they immediately got into the carriage, leaving Xiao Ruoshui standing at the back door of the county office with a bitter expression as she watched them leave.

“Alright, stop looking. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.” Fan Mingyuan stood behind her and said coldly, “You didn’t sleep last night. Go back to your room and rest. I’ll get someone to send the food to your room later.”

Xiao Ruoshui pouted and raised her chin proudly. “What do you mean? I don’t miss her at all.”

After saying that, she turned around angrily and went back. After taking a few steps, she stopped and stuck out her tongue at Fan Mingyuan. “I’m going back to my room to rest. Brother Yuan, you should rest for a while after you’re done with your work. Be careful not to die young before you get married.”

Fan Mingyuan smiled gently and nodded. “What are you worrying about, little girl? Go.”

When Xiao Ruoshui’s back disappeared from his sight, Fan Mingyuan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly with a solemn expression.

“Sir, the people who kidnapped the women in the city are all dead. Do we still continue to investigate?” Grandmaster Ma walked forward and asked. This person was Fan Mingyuan’s subordinate.

After Fan Mingyuan became the county magistrate, he replaced all of Cao Dezhi’s subordinates. Naturally, his advisor was promoted at that time.

Fan Mingyuan did not hesitate at all. “Investigate. We have to investigate further. These people are so brazen. The person behind them must not be simple. If we don’t completely uproot these people, countless innocent women will be killed by them.”

He never believed Shen Yijia’s words that those people were kidnappers.

Grandmaster Ma understood his master’s personality and went to make arrangements.

When Shen Yijia and the others arrived home, they were warmly welcomed by Furball.

As for where it came from, wasn’t it obvious that it was sprawled in the middle of the courtyard?

Shen Yijia’s jaw ached. She called out to Furball a few times, but it ignored her and lay there motionless.

This way, the carriage could not enter.

“Little Furball.” Song Jingchen lifted the curtain and leaned out.

Only then did Furball look up at him. Seeing Song Jingchen take out a paper bag from the car, it immediately got up.

Song Jingchen opened the paper bag and handed it a drumstick. Furball bit it and glanced at Shen Yijia, as if to say, “Learn from him.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

After settling the horses, Shen Yijia returned to the front yard.

Looking at Furball, who was by Song Jingchen’s feet, she suddenly asked, “Do you think Furball is male or female?”

She suspected that Furball had taken a fancy to her beautiful husband.

It was no wonder Shen Yijia thought that way. In the past, it was normal to her since she didn’t know better.

It was different now. Even when she saw a mosquito flying beside Song Jingchen, she would suspect that it was a female mosquito which had taken a fancy to Song Jingchen’s beauty.

If Da Hua knew what she was thinking, she would be glad that she did not teach her anything beyond that. Otherwise, Shen Yijia would be too paranoid.

Her question silenced everyone present for a moment.

Brother Hao’s first reaction was to flip Furball over to take a look. Song Jingchen’s face instantly darkened, and he said sternly, “Everyone, go and squat against the wall for an hour.”

The few of them were shocked. They did not know why they had to be punished again. They looked at Shen Yijia in unison.

Shen Yijia shrugged. She was also confused.

Was it because she asked if Furball was male or female? But she was the one asking.

Although they were puzzled, Brother Hao and the others did not dare to dawdle. They immediately squatted down obediently.

“Do you know what you did wrong?” Song Jingchen lowered his head to read again, not looking at them.
